This is going to be a weekly article, where I seed the ACC teams and where I think they’d should be placed if the tournament started the same day as my posting.

In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside the RPI top (100) is considered a bad loss, and outside the RPI (150) are even more damaging. I’m not counting future results only if I think a team would make the NCAA’s if selections were made the day of the post.

Notes – I’d have Duke as a 1 seed right now, but some bracketologists are currently making a mistake having Kansas as the 4th 1 seed. Who would you take in that game? Duke has to win both their games this week, including arch-rival UNC is this week.

Notes – The Tar Heels are slipping. They’ve lost 3 games in a row, and are being carried by a slew of strong non-conference wins. Beating Duke would turn that skid around big time. Pitt is a layup win.

Notes – Technically Notre Dame is still on the bubble, but barely. That’s what 6 straight losses will do for you. They have to find a way to win both of their games this week.

This Week’s Upcoming Games.

2/3 – @NC State

2/6 – Boston College

(87) Boston College (13-9) (3-6)

Last 10 – (4-6)

Good Wins – * (4) Duke, * (44) Florida State

Bad Losses – None

Notes – At one time BC was in position to make the NCAAs, but it’s starting to slip away. I recommend BC sweep their games this week.

This Week’s Upcoming Games.

2/4 – Georgia Tech

2/6 – @Notre Dame

Only if they win the ACC Tournament

(116) Wake Forest (9-13) (2-8)

Last 10 – (2-8)

Good Wins – * (43) Syracuse, * (44) FSU

Bad Losses – * (268) Liberty, (170) Drake, (136) Georgia Southern

Notes – I told you last week that Wake Forest was reduced to the role spoiler. They put a big dent in FSU’s resume this week by beating them. Clemson needs to be ready when this visit Wake Forest this week.

2/3 – Clemson

2/7 – @Miami

(134) Georgia Tech (11-11) (4-5)

Last 10 – (5-5)

Good Wins – * (20) Miami, (78) Notre Dame, (43) Syracuse

Bad Losses – * (259) Grambling, (111) Grambling

Notes – Georgia Tech nearly knocked off Clemson this past week, and beat Syracuse. They are good enough to cause problems for most teams on their home floor.
